Why Meat Stays Dear.

The past winter has inflicted losses
on range cattle whose amount no one
is able to state; but which have already
had their effect on the price OF beef cat
tie in Chicago. This has been supple
mented by losses due to the drouth IN
the region Immediately around the
great meat market of the country, and
prices have steadily advanced through
August until they stand on level with
quotations a year ago. But neither
fall nor advance can greatly interest
the consumer. who sometimes has 10
nav more because II has gone down.
Beef cattle prices in Chicago, as a table
prepared by Wood Brothers, OF that
cfty. shows. were lower for last June
and July than for any year ON record,
except 1873. and the difference between
prices in 1873 and 1SST IS less than
per cent. As compared with the period
OF high prices from 1881 TO 1SS5, the
fall Is from - 70 30 per cent In other
words. a dollar will buy from twice to
once and half as much meat on the
hOof in Chicago this summer as 1t
would in the five years Of high prices
In July Of lSS2 and 1888, when the
prices of beef cattle were highest, the
tariff rate ON cattle by the railroad was
go and - cents hundred-Welght from
New York to Chicago, and in the first
of these years the published tariff of the
PENNSYLVANIA allowed a rebate of 20
cents. The rate IS now 35 cents hun
dred-weight. The cost of transporta-
tion il, therefore, lower, as well rs the
first cost of the cattle. But the family
market basket cannot be filed bit
heavier for a dollar now than it could
in 1888 or lSS2, although the shipper
fills mis- car for twO-thirds the money
and sends it more cheaply. On the
plains the steer Is worth from cent
and a cent and a half a pOund-the
cheapest meat in the world 1t should
be with / 100, 900 square miles of free
pasturage for cattle ranges. BY the
time cattle have reached Chicago the
price has become doubled

Although the new technical college
at South Kensington, England, has not
yet been opened, complaints are al
ready made about the Inconvenience of
its arrangements. The erection OF this
central school is waste of money-the
funds spent on 1t would have done far
more good if used to supplement the
technical instruction at University Col
lege and Kings College.

Il discussion of what is called tele-
pathy Is opened. The word means
feeling at a distance the impulse
OF another mind through channels
yet unrecogniZed. There are two
forms which elephatic phenomena are
held to assume. One IS that of simple
thought transferrence, or mind reading,
under the control of scientific expert
ment. In mesmeric or pynotic condi-
ton. and, indeed, without it, expert
ments are held to have shown that i'm
presslons or ideas can easily be trans
ferred from one mind to another by an
act of will. The second form is that of
a sudden, unexpected impression pass
ing from one mind to another, as a sort
OF presentiment or apparitIon. The
writer's treat not at all of apparitions
of the dead, but only of the living.

MANY a man has broken his back
and lost his heart on poor farm which
he has suffered 10 run down by bad
management. He has spread his labor
and capital over 100 acres, when by
confining himself to twenty-five or
thirty he might have become happy
and rich The way to repair such an
error is to begin with one field and get
that into good condition, and let the
rest lie, and SO go on through the fern.
One rich field will then make it easy TO
enrich another or two; and while the
beginning is slow. it Is downhill work,
and as the end is nearly reached pro-
gress is fast and easy.

IT is Important To distinguish in
plants the difference between what may
be termed the vegetative and reproduc-
tive stages in plants, says Mr.. Thomas
Meeham. If a branch Oh an unfruitful
tree be ''ringed," " or in some other way
injured, that branch is at once brought
to the fruIt-bearlng or reproductive
condition. So far there is an antagon-
ism between the vegetative and repro
ductive stages. When the reproduc-
tive stage is reached there is another
subdivision. The part TO which nutrI-
tion most freely flows produces chiefly
female flowers, while the part to which
nutrition flows less freely yields chiefly
male flowers. Any one can see this
pine.

RAISE A CALF.-A great many
people who should raise a calf or two
every year are prevented from doing
so because they don't know how Here
is one way and an easy one: Give new
milk warm from the cow for the first
week, then begin TO add skim milk
little at a time, heating it a little
warmer than new milk and add a table,
spoonful each of ground oats and corn
meal to the mess. If the calf Scours
use wheat -four instead OF corn meal
for two or three feelings. At the end
of three weeks the new milk will be
entirely replaced by the skim milk, and
the grain ration gradually Increased
until pint day is reached. 1t Is
best to feed the calf three times day,
and at first it may be fed oftener, but
at no time give more than four quarts
of milk until the calf Is month old.
1t Is good plan to have broad
bottomed trough fixed so it cannot be
upset in which to pour the calf's food,
and give it a lick of bran or meal in
the dry state. Spread such food well
over the bottom of the box, and mix
some nice fine clover hay with it. If
the calf scours give it scorched chopped
wheat in its milk, and only little at a
time, and 1t will soon stop securing.
Keep the young things clean; handle
and foudle them, treat them kindly
and gently and you will be pleased
with the result.
